TableLayout (TableRow?) not sizing child Views as expected when adding them dynamically

Question

Answer 1

The problem is this behavior defined for TableRow:

The children of a TableRow do not need to specify the layout_width and layout_height attributes in the XML file. TableRow always enforces those values to be respectively MATCH_PARENT and WRAP_CONTENT.

Rather than add your text views directly to the TableRow, have the TableRow hold a horizontal LinearLayout and add the second view to that holder.

(Also, using LinearLayout.LayoutParams for something that's going into a TableRow is wrong. You should have been using TableRow.LayoutParams. But that wouldn't be the way to get equal-width TextViews. Use a LinearLayout holder.)
